can be created in a rope if the rope is stretched out horizontally.
What is transverse wave
100
point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of a positive or upward displacement
What is crest
100
the point on the medium that exhibits the maximum amount of negative and downward displacement
What is trough
100
distance from rest to crest
What is amplitude
100
simply the length of one complete cycle
What is wavelength
200
the point which the wave is at rest
What is resting point
200
point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is a travling that has a maximum density
What is compression
200
point on a medium through which a longitudinal wave is a travling that has a minimum density
What is rarefraction
200
medium vibration when a wave passes through the medium
What is frequency
200
measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years
What is period
300
Another unit for frequency
What is hertz
300
Vector or space by which it travels
What is medium
300
Change in direction on a wave front
What is reflection
300
Involves a change in direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another
What is refraction
300
Direction of waves as they pass through an opening or around a barrier in their path
What is diffraction
400
Occurs at any location along the medium where two interfering waves have a displacement in the same direction
What is constructive interference
400
Occurs at any location along the medium where the two interfering waves have a displacement in the opposite directions
What is destructive interference
400
Known as a stationary wave
What is standing wave
400
Point along a standing wave
What is node
400
A point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum

500
Serious of oscillations in which oscillation has a frequency intregal multiple of the same basic frequency
What is harmonics
500
Range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation
What is electromagnetic spectrum
500
A wave in which particles of the medium are displaced in a direction parallel to the direction of energy transport
